A bit off topic ? but I agree totally. Tesco's do adopt underhand
tactics. I've seen things "misplaced" on shelves quite frequently and
even fell foul myself once. Needless to say the misplaced items always
end up in a cheaper space.

The other gripe are these "for one" offers. I feel ripped off if I
only want a normal quantity, so I just use Morrisons or Asda.

Anyway, I'm coming to the conclusion that people should forget
investing in banks, gold, shares etc. The optimum investment is
probably tinned fish.

My staple diet has doubled in price over the last year or so.

From what I observe on the odd occasion I go anywhere near a city
centre, people are eating continuously. Why they need any food at home I
can't imagine.
